We are so proud to have served 15,000 patients as of October 26th 2021. A huge milestone in the history of The Practice and we can't wait to serve another 15,000! Thank you to everyone that has made it possible and to our wonderful patients for making it happen! COVID-19 and TeleHealth Virtual Visits: As your health is of principal concern to us, we are offering patients, existing and new, TeleHealth Virtual Visits with a qualified physician. From June 1st and going forward, non essential appointments and annual examinations will resume following CDC guidelines. As I am sure you are aware, the visiting of a health care professional for medical or dental care was only permissible for chronic conditions or preventive services. As announced April 29th in Governor Newsom's phased reopening plan, and subsequently sanctioned locally; Healthcare providers will now be able to reschedule appointments canceled for all non urgent care at the time of the Public Health Order issuance. This change also includes elective and preventative procedures such as general care and immunizations. We look forward to seeing you, while ensuring you utmost care and safety.

When my design and marketing consultant, Marco Ippaso of MiDESign and Marketing Consultancy contacted me to let me know we had won the GD USA Health and Wellness award for web design, I was delighted. The journey has been pleasurable but long. I thought the achievement was satisfying and perhaps warranted due to the hard work involved by all. My consultant Marco's flattering fb post best describes his sentiments: 'It is always wonderful to be recognized for one's work. I have had the pleasure of working with Ruth Haskins MD, OBGYN, former CMA president, health champion and political activist based in Folsom for some time. A wonderful, inspirational individual who for many years has championed health and wellness not only in her field of Obstetrical and Gynecologic care to women of all ages, but has actively contributed to insightful methods for improving doctor health, better patient care and patient rights throughout the medical field, both within California and throughout the country. MiDESign has had the honor and charge of designing the Practice of Ruth Haskins MD's website, SEO, SM pages, digital marketing and printed collateral. We have just been notified that we have received the GD USA Magazine award for www.ruthhaskinsmd.com. Graphic Design USA is one of the largest and most prestigious Graphic Design Publications in the Industry. I am delighted to have won the award as it showcases only the very best designs in the country receiving over 2,000 entries from design agencies and consultancies throughout the U.S. The website started life as an overhaul of what was originally offered. Over the months it has developed into a resource center for the entire practice, delivering information and providing visit requirements in a gentle, soft yet effective way, reflective of the wonderful work and care provided within the practice! All I can say is thank you Ruth Haskins MD, thank you for the exceptional work that you and your team provide. Thank you also for the opportunity and pleasure of working with you.'

Heath, health maintenance, testing, retirement and life thereafter. www.ruthhaskinsmd.com The best protection against the flu is to get the flu shot. Pregnant women are at higher risk of complications from the flu than women who are not pregnant. They are more likely to develop serious complications like pneumonia and are more likely to be hospitalized. Data from millions of women obtained over many years show that the flu shot is safe during pregnancy. Pregnant women should get the flu shot as soon a possible after it is available. Babies of women who get the flu shot during pregnancy receive antibodies against the flu. This will protect them until they can get vaccinated at age 6 months. The flu shot does not cause the flu. The vaccine in the shot is made from either killed flu viruses or weakened flu viruses. Neither are capable of causing flu illness. Symptoms of the flu include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, muscle aches and headache. People with these symptoms should be seen right away, whether they’ve had the vaccine or not. Antiviral medication is safe in pregnancy – it is best when given within 48 hours of symptom onset. It can be given to pregnant and postpartum women who have been exposed to the flu. While the flu shot is the best protection against the flu, additional precautions include washing hands frequently, covering the mouth and nose with coughing or sneezing and avoiding close contact with people who are sick. This is excellent advice from the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

It is relatively rare that a practice of our size can afford the time, energy and resources to go through a branding revision exercise. As the person responsible for working with our designers, MiDESign and Marketing Consultancy, in EL Dorado Hills, I am extremely excited at being able to launch the site to celebrate our eleventh year. A huge thank you to everyone involved: to my team for all the advice and writing along with to Marco, head of MiDesign, for his guidance, many edits and creativity combined with marketing acumen. The brand application is designed to be reflective of our professionalism and care. Compassion and understanding combined with clinical excellence and attention to detail that only comes with decades of experience. The site, Marco assures me, has been created to reflect this unique combination of virtues. I love it and hope you to agree :) You will see we have divided things into 4 predominant sections. Our Home page now offers easy access to everything needed as you scroll down, with a rapid selection menu bar located on the top right detailing the Practice, our Services, information about me The Dr, our Team, Wellness and your Visit. You will also notice sections on How to find & contact us, What to bring, so you have everything you need and Thoughts for general interest . We have attempted to have everything as intuitive as possible when navigating the site, to ensure it complements your office visit and provides you with everything you need including a Resource section. I am sure we will continue to develop and hone things in order to maximize the benefits to you, our valued patients, but I am happy to have everything up and running, ready to use and showcase what we can do for you.
